Michigan State vs. Boston College final odds and a prediction

Saturday night's Michigan State vs. Boston College game will be one of the most underrated of the week and it features two teams in rebuild mode who might be slightly ahead of schedule.

The Spartans come into the game riding a three-game winning streak and one more means that they'll tie last season's win total. It won't be easy, however, as Boston College is 2-1 with a close road loss against Missouri under its belt. The Eagles also do have a win over Florida State on the road which is what got them ranked heading into the Week 3 battle at Missouri.

What makes the game even tougher is the fact that this is the Red Bandana Game which is a tribute to Welles Crowther, a Boston College alum, who saved at least a dozen lives on September 11, 2001.

Under the lights at Alumni Stadium, this is going to be a tough test for the Spartans.

Vegas also agrees, to an extent. Here are the final odds as of Saturday afternoon via Draft Kings.

Line: Boston College -4.5
Over/Under: 45.5
Moneyline: Boston College -205 | Michigan State +170

The line is moving far more toward Michigan State's side. It started off with Boston College being a touchdown favorite and was around 5.5 point in favor of the Eagles on Saturday morning but now the Spartans are getting a ton of love from Vegas with the line moving so much.

If you want a good value pick, this makes me feel better about the Spartans because Vegas is rarely wrong with these quick moving lines (although it has everything to do with where the money is being bet -- which seemed to be on the Spartans at +6.5).

My prediction would be a tight Michigan State loss with a chance to win on the final drive but Aidan Chiles and Co. will come up just short. Jack Velling will have a breakout game with Nick Marsh and Jaron Glover out, but Thomas Castellanos and the Eagles will do just enough.

Prediction: Michigan State 24, Boston College 28
